According to The Hill, outgoing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) called the wave of Republican losses in Tuesday’s midterm election “close to an extinction-level event for Republicans.” The Hill’s account of the remarks was written by Mira Bhakta.

DeSantis made the comments during a Wednesday press conference, according to The Hill. The outlet reported that he said the losses had been felt in many parts of the country and had probably not been seen in the last 100 years.

Fox News reported that DeSantis described the midterm results as a “wipeout” for Republicans and said the outcome was close to an extinction-level event for the party around the U.S. The Fox News report on the comments summarized his remarks in similar terms.

The two accounts differ on scope. Fox News described the comments as applying around the U.S., while The Hill reported that DeSantis referred to many parts of the country. Neither The Hill nor Fox News, in the summaries available, named specific races, the number of seats lost, or vote totals.

Both outlets identified DeSantis as the outgoing Florida governor. The Hill’s summary ends mid-report, so this account reflects only the material available in that summary and in the Fox News summary.

The Hill’s description of the losses as a wave and Fox News’s description of them as a wipeout both characterize the results as a broad setback for Republicans. Neither summary provides the figures behind that characterization.
